Li Changjiang, head of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said related authorities should inform the public of the latest progress of the campaign by holding joint press conferences at least once a month.
The qualification rate of exported Chinese food products has been over 99 percent for many years, according to a white paper on the country''s food safety issued by the government on Friday.
"Yet, there are still a tiny number of enterprises that disregard the law, regulations and standards of China and importing countries and, by deception or fraud, avoid supervision by the inspection and quarantine authorities, or export food by improper channels," the white paper said.
Since this March, quality and safety issues of made-in-China products have been under international spotlight, ranging from pet foods to drugs, toothpastes, toys, aquatic products and tyres.
